BMW's i3 electric car shows what it can do on a closed track (video)

The BMW i3 might be small and electric, but it can still burn some rubber. That seems to be the message that BMW is trying to get across in this latest video that shows the i3 racing around a closed track.

The BMW i3 is powered by a lithium-ion battery. BMW claims a real-world range of 80 – 100 miles (130 - 160 km) in everyday driving, something that can be increased by up to approximately 12% in ECO PRO mode, and by the same amount additionally in ECO PRO+ mode.

Pricing (before federal or local incentives) starts at $41,350. If you live in California, for example, you should be able to get $7,500 in federal tax credits and a couple extra thousands in state incentives, bringing the price closer to $30k, which isn't bad for both an electric car and a BMW.
